Writing
We started
a new writing unit this week. The children are learning to write
reviews and opinions. I brought in a collection of pigs so the kids
could judge them. They all picked out the "best in show" and gave
reasons for picking that pig. They enjoyed looking through their own
collections too. They lined up their items and judged them fairly by comparing the same thing for all (size, color, shape, etc..). They picked the best of the bunch and wrote several reasons.
Throughout the unit the children will be writing opinions, giving lots of
reasons to support their ideas, adding details, and writing reviews to persuade
others.
